quote to replace 12metres of lead pipe with copper

we have to get the lead pipe leading from our meter to the combi boiler replaced as it is too narrow. the meter is at the front of the flat buy the front door and our boiler at the rear of the flat - fortunatley in a fairly straight line we hope)

We have been quoted £250 for works- is this about right?

    Its about right. There is £50 worth of copper piping on its own.
